Compliment 恭维话

1.Compliment
  ”Larry! Come here!” said his furious mother, putting the telephone down, ” I’ve just had a call   from Mrs. Harrison about your behavior to her Doris at the school dance last night. You wretched, rude boy!”
  ”I was nice to her, Mum, really I was!” protested the youth.
  ”I even paid her a compliment when we had a dance.”
  ”Did you, indeed?” said his mother grimly, “And what exactly did you say?”
  ”I said, Gosh, Doris, you sweat less than any fat girl I’ve ever danced with!”

  “妈妈,我对她很好,真的!”小伙子不服气地说。“当我和她跳舞时我还说了一句恭维她的话。”
  “你真的这么做的吗?”妈妈严厉地问。“你的原话是怎么说的?”
  “我说,啊呀,多丽丝,你比我跳过舞的任何胖姑娘出汗都少!”

3.Englishman
  Once, late at night, an Englishman came out of his room into the corridor of a hotel and asked the servant to bring him a glass of water. The servant did as he was asked. The Englishman re-entered his room, but a few minutes later he came into the corridor again and once more asked the servant for a glass of water. The servant brought him another glass of water. Every few minutes the Englishmen would come out of his room and repeat his request. After a half-hour the astonished servant decided to ask the Englishman what he was doing with the water. “Nothing,” the Englishman answered imperturbably, “It’s simply that my room is on fire.”

翻译:
